Zylomentin Tablet 6's is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used in treating infections of the skin, throat, ear, and lungs caused by bacteria. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. This bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. This medicine is also used in treating infectious diarrhoea caused by various bacterial infections. Zylomentin Tablet 6's is effective in treating infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.
Zylomentin Tablet 6's is a combination medicine containing Amoxycillin (penicillin- antibiotic), Clavulanic acid and Lactic acid bacillus (probiotic). Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxicillin. Lactobacillus sporogenes is a probiotic that helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut.
